Jonathan Swift

Photograph at the Jonathan Swift stone plaque

Gulliver's Travels Johnathon Swift's preface to readers in the first edition of his famous Gulliver's Travels 1726. Remarks "I have observed in the church yard at Banbury several tombs and monuments of the Gulliver's". The original tombstones no longer exist. A later one bearing this old Banbury name lies near to this plaque.
